FC Stratford travel to league leaders Cheltenham Saracens tomorrow, with Janes' side having only picked up one point in their last three league games.

On Tuesday evening, Janes' side lost 4 - 2 at Sixways Stadium against Mark Owen's Worcester Raiders having recently lost 2 - 1 at home to Studley. Sandwiched between those two games was a 2 - 2 home draw with Malmesbury Victoria.

Meanwhile, Saracens' are flying high at the top of Hellenic League Division One with only one defeat in their opening thirteen games, 5 - 3 away at Milton United.

"Cheltenham have had a fantastic start to the season and have really taken a few people by surprise." said Janes.

"At the start of the season, the likes of Raiders, Studley and Littleton were all mentioned as the teams that should be at the top. Cheltenham have delivered consistently and have recorded some excellent results; we are really looking forward to the test against them.

"I am sure it is a game that they will identify as one they should pick three points up in, we view every game as an opportunity to pick up three points.

"Our approach will be the same as any other game, we will look to play on the front foot and adapt an attacking style, but we will need to be very good defensively and be ruthless in both boxes.

"The game is a huge opportunity to not only pick up points for ourselves, but to stop Cheltenham recording any points which will keep us in touching distance.

"We need a reaction from our last few games, a reaction that demonstrates the character and togetherness we have as a squad.

"The players have put us in a great position, but because we have such high standards it is so easy to be disappointed with results that don't go our way, I want to see the players enjoy the game and enjoy the journey we are on."
